As soon as the train was in motion Smith
got on again and walked to the tender and
refused to get off, at the same time drawing
his knife and cutting at engineer Crawford,
who then stopped at section house and
procured shotgun to arrest the negro. He
again cut at engineer Crawford, cutting his
jacket aud vest but did not injure him. Mr.
Crawford then fired in self-defense and
killed the negro. Mr.. Crawford carried his
train to Waycross and returned here to-

The Coroner did not think it necessary to

japanese Sake Drinkers.

Thomas Stevens, writing in the New

drinks SO persistently and steadily as do
the japanese. The average Jap con-
sumes about half a pint Of sake, or rice
beer, with each meal-a pint and a half
per day--saying nothing about further
social indulgence in the evening. Both
men and women drink sake by the pint
daily, and think Eo harm off it either.
At meals the sake is served up in slen-
der, ~big-necked earthenware bottles,
holding about a pint. Tho fayorite way

warmed by setting the bottle. i boiling
water for a while before putting it on
the table. Rice beer is . rather decep-,
tive name to give sake, as it resembles
liquor more than beer, both in color,
consistency, and Intoxicating property.
In the consumption of alcohol the
Japs, as a nation, rank far ahead
of any other Asiatie country. In addi-
ton to sake, they are rapidly coming to
the fore. as consumers of beer and brandy
and whisky. Their consumption of
those beverages keeps q ~curiously even

Where VtoIisas Are Made.

It is truly astonishing how many
violins there arc imported into this
country annually, especially if we n
slider that there is really but one pace
in the world where violins are made ex-
tensively. That place is Markrieukirchen,
with its surrounding villages, in saxony,
Germany. There are altogether about
Is, 900 people living there who do Meth
ing else day after day but make %violins,
aud to go there and watch them is one
of the most interesting sights | ever en-
joyed in all my life. The inhabitants,
from the little urchin to the old gray
headed man, the small girl and the old
grandmother, all are engaged in
making some parts of q fiddle.
A good one consists of sixty-two diff
ferent pieces. They are cut, planed,
smoothed and measured, everything
being accurate and precise with the
model. The older men make the finger
board from ebony, and the string holder
and the screws. The small boys have
TO make themselves useful by looking
after the glue pot on the fire and brtAs-
ing their elders things as they may
want them. A man with strong, steady
hands and a clear eye puts the different
pieces together, and this is the most diff
fieult task of all. Most vioiins are made
of maple wood that grows in
that part of the country or
over the fronti,r in Bohemia.
The women generally occupy them
selves as polishers. This requires long
practice, apd a family that has a daugh-
ter who is a good polisher is considered
fortunate. Even a young man, when he
goes ~a-wooing, inquiries whether the
youag gil is a good polisher, and if she
is, it certainly will increase his affection
'sAr her at least twofold. The polishing
takes a good deal of time, some of the
best violins being twenty and even
thirty times polished. Every family
has its peculiar style Of polishing, and
they never vary from that. There il

KEPT THEIR PLEDGE.
How Northern Africa was Saved
to the French.
Conquered Moslems Who Re-
deemed Their Promise.

Never was that empire (of France,
Algeria in such danger as in the Franco
German wa, says Henry N. Field in
scribner's Magazine. AS soon as it was
evident that it was going against the
French, their tro ops were recalled from
Africa to take part in the great struggle
at home---till Algeria was left almost
without defence.
Then the hour for which the conquered
races had long waited had come, and if
they could at once have joined their
forces and proclaimed a holy war, it is
altogether probable that the French
would have been driven from Northern
Africa. They might have regained AL
geria after the German war was over,
but only by a repetition of the years of
fighting which it cost to conquer it. That
the tribes did not take advantage of this,
and rise while the French had their
hands full on the other side of the Med
iterranean, was owing wholly to their
fidelity to a solemn pledge.
When the wal broke out, a chief of
great influence among the tribes, Mok-
rani, gave his word to the Governor
General of Algeria that there should be
no instruction while the war lasted.
That word was faithfully kept. The
French arms were followed by disaster
after disaster; Napoleon surrendered at
Sedan, and Bazaine surrendered at Metz.
Then it seemed as If a voice from the
Rhine called to the tribes of Kabylia to
seize an opportunity which might
never come again. But not a man
stirred; nor yet when all the defeats
and disgraces of the war cul-
minated in the seige and surren-
der of Paris. The Moslem's faith was
plighted; the Moslem's faith was kept!
But-when all was over, when the last
battle had been fought, and the treaty
of peace had been signed at Frankfort,
then Mokrani was released from his
pledge, and then, and not till then, did
he declare war. And still he would take
no unfair advantage, but gave forty
eight hours notice. Then the war-cry
went through the mountains, and the
tribes rushed 10 the field. They fought
[=sH+E.s
desperately, not only destroying towns,
but laying siege to fortified
places. Even Fort Napoleon, now
Eart National, the strongest fortress in
Kabylia, had to sustain a siege of over
two months before the French troops
could com to its relief. But the end
was inevitable, for as soon as the French
armies were freed from duty at home,
they came in large divisions across the
Mediterranean. Seeing that all was lost,
Mokrani put himself at the head of his
troops for the last battle, and dashing
to the front, foremost, fighting, fell"
The war was ended, and the Kabyles
were subdued, but with no loss OF repu-
tation for courage and with increase of
honor, in that they had kept faith, even
with unbelievers; aud it was fitting that
the French should themselves erect a
monument to mark the spot where this
noble enemy persisted. Such fidelity,
coupled with valor in raj and industry
in peace, with intense love Of country
and courage in defending it, are enough
to redeem a whole people from the re-
proach of barbarism.
